These teens are getting roped into neo-fascism in absence of Marxist guidance showing them what the “matrix” actually represents. Vulnerable young men are getting told that yes, corporations are oppressing them, and yes, the US government is a puppet of the rich - but the solution being presented to them is to become an exploiter themselves rather than any form of class solidarity or dialectical materialism. I really feel like this “escape the matrix” rhetoric is the kind of thing we can capitalise on instead of just standing idly by as young men have their very real grievances with modern life twisted into something wholly unhealthy

      I can totally relate. It is truly life-changing. Aside from the new understanding of economics, politics, society, and everything else, becoming a ML has certainly helped improve my social skills, dating life, and relationships with others by increasing my empathy and respect for other people.

      I was an incel for a long time and turned to PUAs, dating and lifestyle coaches to help improve my social skills. Luckily I was already pretty far left so I was able to filter out the toxic garbage and just take the legitimate good advice. But the problem is a lot of guys swallow the whole package because they can’t separate the good from the bad. I think Communist dating coaches could be amazingly effective and reach a lot of decent people because all that toxic shit would be absent and it would just be pure objectively correct good advice.
